“This is the first global launch of a Lenovo product in India. ‘K8 Note’ comes packed with everything that our consumers would expect from a smartphone today – an eye-catching design, dual cameras, 10-core processor, great sound and, of course, the ‘TheaterMax’ technology that is the hallmark of the Note series,” Sudhin Mathur, Country Head, Lenovo Mobile Business Group, India, told reporters here.

‘TheaterMax’ allows users to view the content on your phone on a much larger virtual screen once they put on a VR headset and ‘Dolby Atmos’ ensures high-quality sound.

The dual camera set-up has a 13MP primary and 5MP depth sensor for better pictures and enhanced depth of field.

Reacting to rumours that the company was superstitious and didn’t launch the ‘K7’ series, Anuj Sharma, Head of Product Marketing (Smartphones) at Lenovo, said: “There was a K7 Note but that wasn’t killer enough. We skipped a generation, took a leap and made ‘K8 Note'”.

Note series has been focusing on excellent battery life and the K8 Note is no exception. It features a hefty 4000mAh battery. A 15-watt turbo charger is included that promises to charge the device quickly.

There’s a dedicated music key on the device for music lovers. The smartphone also supports 4G connectivity and VoLTE.

The stock Anrdoid makes it the first device in the ‘Killer Note’ series to run on pure or stock Android, giving users a smooth and secure experience with all of Goo’le’s services including Google Assistant. The device would receive at least one OS upgrade.
